The Shock closed out the game on a 13-6 run to record their third straight victory since dropping their season opener at Minnesota on June 5, with Diggins netting the first four points of the surge.

Paris added 10 points and Jordan Hooper contributed 11 off the bench for Tulsa, hitting 3-of-4 attempts from 3-point range.

Kayla McBride finished with 17 points in the Stars' third consecutive loss to begin the season. Danielle Robinson had 10 along with seven assists.

Diggins responded with consecutive layups, however, and Paris came through with a pair of baskets around a jumper from San Antonio's Sophia Young-Malcolm to extend the Shock's lead to 68-58 inside five minutes left.
